About this listen
A faerie assassin. A priceless favor. An impossible choice.
Valerie "Val" Stonehold faces her toughest challenge yet when her best friend Sinatria asks for a life-changing favor. Val must become the faerie Tetra's liege—a magically binding contract that grants her complete control over the assassin.
Playing jailer to a resentful faerie is the least of Val's worries.
As she juggles to protect her dwarf clients from a ruthless gang, and unravel the secrets of her mysterious amulet, Val finds herself in a web of danger and deceit that threatens everything she holds dear.
Can Val keep her loved ones safe while unraveling the mysteries of her powerful amulet? Will Tetra find redemption and a place to belong in the human world?
In a thrilling blend of urban fantasy and paranormal suspense, Val and Tetra's journey will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last moment.

Story
I used to be the greatest Earth Mage in my world. The head of the entire Order of Architects. But the older you get, the more you come to realize that at some point, you need to retire, so that you can have the chance to enjoy a peaceful life and to cede your place to the young, some of whom have already turned two thousand years old . . .So that's what I did. But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I'd accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!
